WMP is verry nice for me , i like vlc too becaues it plays everything . but vlc has a verry dry GUI and isent that ez to use and you cant burn cds in it,so WMP is my main player . WMP will onley burn audio cds ,not dvds so id use nero or somthing . but blank dvds are expensive and nero dosent work the times iv tride to use it so i find it much eser to just hook up my vcr to the comp and record the movie i DLed to a vhs tape.
